      Imagine replacing all those rotary switch stack and antenna switch boxes and attached cables with a simple yet very flexible system. The Shack-LAN Touch-Screen antenna controller uses 12vdc monitors and is available in 7" or 8" sizes. The video portion is VGA compatible and can be used with any video card, including Dual-port cards and the touch-screen portion plugs into a standard USB port. Software for the controller is built-in to our miLog software and is also available as a separate application. you may also choose to run the software on your own displays, either a touch-screen type display or a standard display with mouse.

   Automatic band selection is available when used with any application that writes band data to the LPT port, including most popular contest programs or the unit may be operated in manual band mode. The current software supports 8 main antenna selections and an additional 8 Rx antennas and each on-screen antenna selection button may be given its own label on each band. All colors are fully customizable to suit your personal preferences.

   The rotor interface includes support for up to 8 rotors and each antenna selection may have its own rotor assignment. Simply selecting an antenna will also select the proper rotor and turning your antennas could not be easier. Just touch the point on the rotor display you want to aim your antennas and everything else is handled automatically.
